Ozone Use in CIP Systems
Clean-in-place (CIP) is a method of cleaning the interior surfaces of pipes, vessels, and process equipment, without disassembly. The washing process consists of several cycles in which detergents, caustic, acid, disinfectants and rinsing material is recycled through the process equipment via an automated system of tanks, valves, pumps, and heart exchangers managed by a programmable controller.
While conventional CIP significantly reduces the time and cost systems sanitation compared manual cleaning, elevated temperatures and chemical detergents are often required for complete effectiveness. As a result, significant amounts of energy and water are consumed in traditional CIP processes.
Water treated to a specific level of dissolved Ozone can improve the effectiveness of CIP because it is the strongest oxidant and disinfectant in commercial use that works well at reduced temperatures.
Conventional high-temperature CIP processes require energy and time to ramp the entire system up to the target temperature and cool down at the end of the process. Ozonated water can replace chlorinated sanitizers, peracetic acid, and hot water rinse in traditional CIP protocols. This reduces water for flushing and time for system cool down.
Ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent that can be used to disinfect and clean equipment and surfaces in a variety of industries, including food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and water treatment. In a CIP (Clean-In-Place) system, ozone is generated on-site and used to clean and sanitize equipment without the need for chemicals or hot water (or lower chemical usage).
Our solution: Flygoo Ozone Spray Water Machine
The Flygoo Ozone Spray Water Machine (FG-OWS Series) offers a revolutionary approach to floor and surface cleaning using Clean-In-Place (CIP) technology. By generating ozone on-site and dissolving it into water, our system creates a powerful, natural disinfectant that eliminates bacteria, viruses, mold, and organic contaminants—without any chemicals or hot water
How Ozone Works in CIP Systems:
In a CIP system, ozone is generated on-site using an ozone generator. The ozone is then dissolved in water and circulated through the equipment to be cleaned. The ozone reacts with and breaks down organic matter, biofilms, and other contaminants, leaving the equipment clean and sanitized.
Ozone is a powerful and effective disinfectant that can be used to clean and sanitize equipment in a variety of industries. It is a safe, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional chemical cleaning methods.
The drawing below provides the fundamentals of a turnkey ozone system. This system will produce ozone, dissolve that ozone gas into water, and circulate that water on a CIP batch tank, or CIP loop based on the specific end-user requirement.
The OXS Series produce ozone with an air cooled Ozone Generator.The OXS systems require compressed air to be supplied to the system. If this isn’t possible in your application, you can upgrade to have an internal compressor.
Benefits of Ozone in CIP Systems:
- Ozone has no residual or by-products that could alter flavors of a beverage or other product.
- Environmentally friendly: Ozone is a safe and effective disinfectant that leaves no harmful residues. It is also a powerful oxidizer, which means it can break down organic matter and biofilms, making it an ideal choice for cleaning and sanitizing equipment that comes into contact with food or beverages.
- Cost-effective: Ozone can lower costs by eliminating hot water, lower water consumption, and lowering chemical usage. It can also reduce the amount of time and labor required to clean and sanitize equipment by reducing CIP cycles such as the final rinse cycle.
- Safe: By eliminating hot water and lowering chemical consumption safety risks of hot water, and chemical storage/handling can be reduced.
Potential cost savings of ozone use in CIP Processes:
- Water savings due to fewer cycles during CIP processes.
- Chemicals may be reduced, saving chemical costs.
- Water savings will translate to less wastewater, and potentially cleaner wastewater eliminating chemical by-products.
- Fewer CIP cycles shortens overall downtime for CIP process.
- Energy costs may be lowered due to less hot water consumption.
